On Corellia, Han and Qi'ra are forced to work for a gang in order to survive.
The day Han manages to steal a sample of coaxium, the precious hyperspace
fuel, they use it as bribe in an attempt to escape the planet. Qi'ra is taken
back, but Han enrolls in the Imperial Flight Academy under the name Solo,
promising himself to get a ship and come back for her. Three years later,
expelled from the Academy and fighting as an infantryman, he attempts to join
Beckett's gang, thieves posing as soldiers. Beckett gets him thrown in the pit
to be eaten by the beast, a wookie named Chewbacca whom Han befriends; they
escape together and are finally accepted in Beckett's gang, who needs hands
for his next heist: stealing a shipment of coaxium from an imperial train. The
mission almost succeeds, but they are attacked by Enfys Nest's Cloud Riders,
and the precious cargo is lost, getting Beckett's wife killed in the process.
Han and Beckett then meet with Crimson Dawn's crime boss Dryden Vos who had
ordered the heist, and to save their lives they promise to find unrefined
coaxium from Kessel. Vos sends his lieutenant with them, who is none other
than Qi'ra, who apparently made a career in organized crime. Needing a ship,
they meet famous smuggler Lando Calrissian. Han challenges Lando to a game of
sabacc for his ship, the Millenium Falcon. Lando wins by cheating, but agrees
to join them for a share of the profit. They manage to steal the coaxium on
Kessel by wreaking havoc at the mine, freeing all the slave workers. Coaxium
is very unstable, and since they have lost much time at the mine, they are
forced to find a shortcut through the maelstrom to evade an imperial blockade.
Making the Kessel run in less than 20 parsec, they reach the planet Savareen
where the fuel can be refined and stabilized. There they meet Enfys Nest
again, who explains that they are rebels fighting against Crimson Dawn and the
Empire. Solo is willing to give them the precious coaxium and trick Vos, but
Beckett double-crosses him. Qi'ra fights and kills her boss, and sends Han
after Beckett, whom he kills before getting killed. In the meanwhile, Qi'ra
takes control of Crimson Dawn and leaves Han alone. Some time later, he meets
Lando again, and wins the Falcon at sabacc. Han and Chewbacca leave for
Tatooine where a gangster is putting together a smuggling operation.

Near the end of a mission on the Hubble space telescope, a large amount of
space debris destroy the shuttle, and only two members of the crew, Stone and
Kowalsky survive. They manage to reach the nearby evacuated ISS thanks to
Kowalski's MMU, but only Stone manages to enter the station. Kowalski tells
her over the radio to use the second Soyuz module (unusable for landing
because its parachute had accidentally deployed) to fly to the Tiangong
station and use its Shenzhou module to land. She manages to board the second
Soyuz module just as the orbiting space debris arrive again ad destroy the
station. But Stone discovers she has run out of fuel, and decides to cut the
oxygen and wait for death. She has a hallicination of Kowalski coming back and
telling her that she can use the module's soft landing rocket to fly to the
Tiangong. Ejecting herself from the module as it approaches the Chinese
station at an angle, she uses a fire extinguisher to manoeuvre, reach and
enter the station that is slowly entering Earth's atmosphere. The Shengzhou
being similar to the Soyouz, she succeeds at landing it as the rest of the
station burns.

One fund manager notices that the US housing market was rotten two years
before the 2007 crash. He invests in credit default swaps, asking an
investment bank to create a market for them, betting against the market,
despite the common idea that the housing market cannot collapse, because it
never had before. A few other investors learn of his analysis and
follow his steps. The funds' investors are not happy about the fact that they
need to pay large premiums for two years, but the managers are convinced they
are right. In the meanwhile, some of them investigate the situation and
discovers that mortgage brokers are selling loans to people who will not be
able to pay them back, re-selling those mortgages to banks that are eager to
turn them into financial instruments, MBS and CDOs. These instruments are well
rated by complacent rating agencies, which helps keeping their values
artificially high when more and more people start to default on their
payments. When the value of the CDOs finally plummet, those traders sell their
CDS, making enormous profits, but most of them give up on finance, disgusted
by the fact that the system is rotten to the core.

extra-terrestrial sceptre containing an IA in a gem, an Infinity Stone. Stark
attempts to use that IA to make the ultimate peace-keeping android, Ultron.

create a body that allies the gem, vibranium and synthetic human cells, but
the transfer of the mind to the new body is interrupted by Cho who got a
warning from Wanda, the twins having turned against Ultron when learning its
desire to kill all humans. The new body is recovered by the Avengers, and

Paleontologist are invited to give their approval of a theme park, built on an
isolated island, featuring real dinosaurs, genetically reconstructed from DNA
found in jurassic mosquitos preserved in amber. During the tour of the park,
the main IT engineer runs a program that disables safety measures so that he
can steal embryos and resell them. At the same time, a storm arrives on the
island, and the engineer, lost in the park, gets killed by a carnivorous
dinosaur. More dinosaurs get loose as the electric fences are unoperative. The
humans, blocked in the middle of the tour, manage to escape the tyrannosaurus
and spend the night in a tree. Meanwhile, other people attempt to reboot the
whole computer system and restart the power plant to be able to call for help,
while escaping velociraptors. In the end, the surviving characters escape the
island by helicopter.

The planet Mül is destroyed as a collateral damage of a war between humans and
some other alien species. Thirty years later, only a few survivors, named
Pearls, remain. Records indicate that the planet was uninhabited. Valerian and
Laureline are tasked to recover the last of the Mül convterters from a black
market dealer, unknowingly taking it away from the Pearls who were about to
buy it. Commander Filitt plans to give the converter as a gift during a
meeting of the council of Alpha, a huge complex of ships and space stations
where thousands of alien species cohabitate. The Pearls attack the conference
and kidnapp Filitt, but fail to notice that Laureline, as Filitt's bodyguard,
was holding onto the converter. Valerian chases the Pearls through Alpha, but
Laureline loses contact with him as he enters a radioactive zone at the center
of the complex, zone that had appeared recently, grows, and from which no-one
has ever come back. Laureline manages to locate Valerian, but she is kidnapped
by a primitive species and about to be eaten by their emporor when she is
saved by Valerian, who had enrolled Bubble, a shapeshifter, to disguise him as
a one of the primitives. Bubble dies in the fight, and Valerian and Laureline
eventually reach the Pearl's hideout. They learn the fate of Mül and Filitt's
involvement and ensuing coverup. While Filitt's robotic troops prepare to
attack the Pearls, Valerian accepts to give them the converter, allowing
them to produce enough energy to power the ship they had been secretly
constructing and escape in the nick of time.
